Nice design! This is gonna be good ...  Thanks haz. Can't wait to see what you create tx!
Me either LOL ;-) yes, we most certainly will...
I love the general look! Nice design! Can't wait to see the rest of the customization!
This is what is going to take awhile, probably bitting off more then I sound for a first build. But never knew what I will do it again. That should look pretty darn good!!

I finally have all my pieces ordered from US and TCSS to build my saber from the ground up so to speak. I'm very excited and a little nervous to get this done. This will not be a fast process, I'm using chemicals and techniques I have never even knew was around before I started ordering parts for this. This will all get done to the hilt, pommel, and emitter before I even think about the electronics. I will be doing all the soldering and electronics pretty much for the first time. And Monday thru Friday I have zero time to work on this. So bare with me and when I get the project done I will post many many pictures of during and after. Here are most of the parts just for an idea.   Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk ...I don't know HOW I missed this but... I really enjoy seeing your mods and custom work Tx and this one will be no different I'm sure: in other words, awesome! Just as it is, I like the look of that saber (I was thinking of getting that pommel on a Dominix for my next purchase) |

Just as it is, I like the look of that saber (I was thinking of getting that pommel on a Dominix for my next purchase) Get to start on some prep work tomorrow, maybe I will get enough done to add a picture or two. Nice design. Can't wait to hear about how it turns out for you.

OK got some work done today. I clear coated the inside of the two hilt pieces so when I use Aluminum Black and do the acid etching they don't effect the inside of the saber. Then I prepped the neck, primed, and painted it. Used the Aluminum Black on the inside of the emitter and the grenade section. Weathered the pommel and clear coated the inside of the emitter, the neck, and the grenade section. The black on the outside of the emitter is pin stripping, just using that to mark the blank spots for when I use the acid etching (hopefully next weekend). So the acid etching and some weathering on the neck and I should be done with everything but the electronics.          Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk |

No this is going to be purely dark side, using a Tri Cree with two red and one white for FOC. Definitely looking good so far
Thank you! Coming along, etching is going t be fun Curious to see what method you are going to use. Not really using acid. Will be using P&P blue paper mostly to transfer the design. Using a mixture of Copper Sulfate Pentahydrate Crystals and Lab-Grade Sodium Chloride Crystals. Hopefully I can get this done next weekend. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk |

Hopefully I can get this done next weekend. Seen this done, works but can be messy. I am working on salt etching a hilt right now, if I ever get around to actually finishing it  |
